Independents

Dear members, please help to navigate the process of including Akrivia as a dedicated subforum Brand. I believe the contribution of Rexhep Rehxepi is well deserved. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

is the production number a decisive factor? Thank you for your input Fastwong

But hey, the more the merrier, it doesn't bother me, just my .02 since philosophically from a community perspective I like more things in fewer silos than fewer things in more silos.

but I dont see Akrivia, i see MBF, KV, DeBethune and others

There are very very few indies that merit a sub forum here. The starting point for me is actually driving some conversation on the current Indies forum. Also, let me play devils advocate here and ask is Rexhep really that important? Very nice watches, app... 

If we had to “promote” anyone, I have 2 names above all. Urwerk and MB&F. Pardon for Kari and Romain 😁 Great anglage but no experimentation on those amazing watches (Rexh and the new emerging) 🤗

While we’re on the subject - and apologies for my ignorance- but what is the criteria/differentiation between Featured Forums and Brand Forums?

Breadth is obviously limited almost to such an extent as to be irrelevant. It's like how Jiro lost his Michelin Stars, once it become impossible to get a reservation it was more a private dining club than a restaurant. Not to say the watches aren't amazin... 

CCl and CCll are very complex , CCll is completely new movement not to mention subtle ( but significant )differences in case and dial design between two CC’s

But RRCC is a continuation of AK in many ways, the subtle similarities in case shape , movement ( RRCC1 shares movement with AK 06) and finishing.

Very distinct design and I’d prefer one in a heartbeat to a modern RR watch. Don’t get me wrong the new ones are beautiful watches but seems like everyone is trying to become a Philippe Dufour these days and frankly in some cases it is starting to loose i... 

AK series flows very organically into RRC series

But... If the original poster's lobbying message is so short... What would be said in an Akrivia forum?

Akrivia has won 2 GPHG best men/s watch award Dedication to traditional craft of watchmaking Uncompromising attention to details and finishing Inspiring story of the founder

If that's the criteria, MB&F alone won two GPHG awards in a single night - and this has happened more than once. I think I'd get a call from the PR department at MB&F (or a Zoom invitation from Max) asking when they were going to get their long ov...  

I can see sub categories for MBF , Urwerk and others, but I don’t see Akrivia

but i just dont understand why there is no Akrivia under indy brands? ...
